They are fully equipped for cooking your own meals but there is also an amazing restaurant on the property. Our cabin was named Sunrise and the first morning I happened to wake up in time to enjoy the kitchen suddenly become flooded with a bright yellow glow! The cabin was very spacious, with a good sized living room, nice big shower and plenty of space around every side of the king sized bed. It was situated with lovely views of the lake from two sides of the cabin. They have pontoons available to rent and though I have been to Hamlin Lake many times over the years, I had never enjoyed being out on the water in a boat. It was a real treat! The whole resort was well maintained and in top notch condition.

Went here with my dad a few times in the 70s and 80s. Was back recently for a fall getaway with…read moremy wife. We weren't there to fish, as practically everyone else there was, but we found it a nice base for hiking and color touring. It got a little noisy on Saturday night, when the place was mostly full, but very quiet the next two nights. We were in the section along the river, where most others were tenting like we were, though there were a few RVs there too. The site was level, though the ground was a little stony, which made driving tent stakes a challenge. Lots of shade, though no trees where we could conveniently set up a clothesline. The fire ring is portable, so you can move it to maximize distance from your tent, regardless of what corner of the site you want to pitch it on. The one real inconvenience is that getting to the showerhouse (and the drinking water spigot) from that section of the campground requires a fairly lengthy walk that includes a steep hill climb. But once you're up there, you'll find clean, well-kept facilities. Shower stalls were roomy. There's a small camp store on site that sells some basic gear and groceries, as well as fishing tackles and souveniers. This is a nice, cozy northwoods destination. And one of these days I'll get back to fish!

Want a peaceful place to stay? This would be it. Granted I was there early through mid-week, not…read morearound a holiday or during one of the major fish runs in the Little Manistee River, but I had the place to myself, heard little vehicle traffic on the nearby roads, or much of anything besides birds during the day and owls and coyotes at night. The sites are well shaded and the ground was free of rocks--I could push in my tent stakes. Most looked reasonably level, and several would hold a medium sized trailer or motorhome easily, if that's how you roll. Water is from a hand pump and was clear and good tasting, not rusty as you often find at primitive campgrounds. It will leave lime on your pots, though. The outhouse was fairly clean, well stocked with TP. The extra long picnic table and lantern hanger at the site proved very handy. There are a couple of group camping areas. Trails lead from some of the sites down to the river, though some are not easy to follow. The best river access is between the group campgrounds. Getting to Bear Track, or from it to other area attractions, can be challenging due to the tangle of dirt roads weaving through the national forest. But the solitude and quiet here make this minor nuisance tolerable.

This place is one to remember! Very clean, cozy and amazing location. 3 minute wall to the beach…read more The owner is very nice and accommodating. I was traveling with 2 small dogs and got very lucky that they're dog friendly. Call and check to make sure they still are though, the owner told me when I checked out that they may not be dog friendly for much longer. I could tell the owner is a big time dog lover but understand her possible future decision to not take dogs anymore, can never tell how responsible of a dog owner one is or how behaved one dog is to the next. Great experience! So glad to have found this gem!!!

Jan was very accommodating with my vegan lifestyle and made me a delicious breakfast. The rooms are all decorated different, with lots of original and traditional Victorian decor. Lots of opportunity to learn about the history of the home, the prior owners, and the town. Plenty of literature. The sunroom is fantastic!
